PSV had a terrible start in the European Champions League by losing to Juventus who are not the current Italian league champions, this shows how the difference between leagues is still very big. PSV are the Eredivisie champions and are currently defending their title well in the Eredivisie, but in European competitions they are weak. which means that the Eredivisie needs to be more competitive. Today I read this news

It's a good move by PSV, they are already strong in the Eredivisie and want to get stronger, that's a good thing. But they also need to be strong in European competitions, at least to get far, it doesn't have to be in the final, the Eredivisie teams haven't been able to get far in the European Champions League. Ajax was a team that created big headaches for big teams in the European Champions League, but currently Ajax is going through bad times.
The signing of Ivan Perisic is quite good to add depth to the PSV squad, his experience playing with Bayern Munchen, Inter Milan and Tottenham can certainly help PSV in the future. However, Perisic can only play in domestic competitions, because player registration in the Champions League is currently closed. Meanwhile, PSV actually has a chance to qualify for the last 16, because the opponents they face are mostly of equal strength, except for PSG and Liverpool.
